Having a clear business model, a simple-as-possible route to that business, a good demonstration, and a high level of personal investment is how you nail a pitch.
Or I guess you could focus on your elevator description of your business and wearing high heels.

No, that's now you nail your business. Nailing a pitch may require those things as well (though apparently not always), but investors are sales prospects and need to be marketed to and sold, just like anyone else.
I've never seen someone who didn't know how to pluralize words until watching the pitch at the bottom. If I heard someone like that pitching me without a concept of "more than one" or past tense, no way I'd give them my money.
Nor would I fund a business plan with typos all through it. Clean up your act first, then pitch. At least practice. Why hasn't someone told that poor lady that she doesn't speak right? That's a red flag to me.
It's odd that a pitch about pitches would put that pitch down as an example on the page. It's horrible -- great business or not.
You just proved her point that people like to break things, it's easy to watch someone's live pitch and criticize it. This is well thought out, perfect grammar or not. She has the last word with the win and the funding.
It speaks more to canada's lack of entrepreneurial spirit than anything else. There's a reason good canadian companies go to the U.S. to get funding...
Their funding came from a Canadian VC.
It would be dumb not to try the US for investment, since they have almost 10 times the population and a similar culture.
